In the spirit of our Supercharged Workspace Week, the Lifehacker staff is showing off our own desks, offices, and other spaces. We start with my cozy corner, which somehow seems as if no actual work gets done in it.

There's a confession I've got to make before we go on: At first, I felt the biggest urge to clean everything up on my desk, and stage it to look as if I've applied all those cable-management tricks we've shared. In the end, though, honesty won, so you get to see all my quirky bits and pieces.

The theme of my home office is "a place for everything and everything in its place," except for cables. Just as there's a spot for me to empty out my pockets at the end of the day and dump my keys and bag, there's a bowl for sweets and candies.

Beyond that, it's simplicity and comforts that get me through my day. A teddy bear hiding in the corner, a fresh flower every day, plenty of things to tinker with (balls, puzzles, a slinky), and enough empty desk space to spread crafts out on. The cutesy, cozy space is what leaves me at peace, which helps me get writing done without feeling distracted.

Remember that if you have a workspace of your own to show off, throw the pictures on your Flickr account and add it to the Lifehacker Workspace Show and Tell Pool. Include some details about your setup and why it works for you, and you could see it featured on the front page of Lifehacker.
